The decline continues. Tottenham has matched the unfortunate achievement of 28 years ago

London's Tottenham continues to disappoint. In the 23rd round of the English Premier League, the Spurs hosted Leicester at home and managed to repeat an unfortunate achievement from 28 years ago.

Thanks to a goal from Richarlison, the teams went into halftime with Tottenham leading by a slim margin. However, the start of the second half turned disastrous for the hosts. Quick-fire goals from Vardy and El-Hannousi turned everything upside down within five minutes.
